We are a developing Co-housing community on the shores of Lake Chapala near Ajijic
We seek to overcome separation in the community and instead build healthy connections among friends and neighbours with shared values.
Rancho La Salud Village is a concept of unique community that combines the attractions around the lake and the design of a sustainable community focused on a healthy and integral life.
In the deepest sense this implies the continuing search for self-sufficiency and self-direction. Our intention is to evolve toward an empowered community dedicated to nature and human values. In our cohousing community, one with another is more than two, it is a family.
In cohousing, sustainablility begins with me. As within, so without. Respecting my body, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, being conscious of time and space, the here and the now, and how my internal values are reflected in the external environment, satisfying the necessities of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. We adopt sustainability as a lifestyle, included in the design of the homes, the food production and the daily habits we promote.
This is the educational dimension of the community. Our philosophy is ‘learn from life’, continually astonished by what we are learning from nature as well as from inside ourselves. We are all students, and we are all teachers, respecting our differences and living in peace and harmony with a smile.
Our expectation is to live long lives based upon values of community, sustainability and growth. Longevity is a social phenomenon manifesting itself with increasing vigor in the 21st century. The increasing number of centenarians in our world demonstrates that when we live in accordance with the values cited above, the natural consequence is a long and successful life.
